Electronic Healthcare Network 

Accreditation Commission (‘‘EHNAC’’) 

has filed written notifications 

simultaneously with the Attorney 

General and the Federal Trade 

Commission disclosing additions or 

changes to its standards development 

activities. The notifications were filed 

for the purpose of extending the Act’s 

provisions limiting the recovery of 

antitrust plaintiffs to actual damages 

under specified circumstances. 

Specifically, EHNAC has expanded the 

scope of its standard setting activities in 

two new areas by initiating beta testing 

of two new accreditation programs i.e., 

one accreditation program to assure 

compliance with the security and 

privacy controls and procedures of the 

Health Insurance Portability and 

Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 for 

those entities that create, send and 

receive electronic transcription and 

coding information, which in many 

cases includes protected health 

information (PHI) under HIPAA; and the 

other accreditation program for Third 

Party Administrators and Medical 

Billers that electronically receive and 

process administrative and clinical data 

from providers, payers and employers 

regarding claims, eligibility and 

payment information, which data 

contains PHI and must comply with 

HIPAA regulations regarding privacy 

and security in addition to technical 

and infrastructure along with resource 

requirements. 

On March 8, 2005, EHNAC filed its 

original notification pursuant to Section 

6(a) of the Act. The Department of 

Justice published a notice in the Federal 

Register pursuant to Section 6(b) of the 

Act on May 12, 2005 (70 FR 25110).

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Employment Standards Administration 

Proposed Extension of the Approval of 

Information Collection Requirements 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a preclearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This 

program helps to ensure that requested 

data can be provided in the desired 

format, reporting burden (time and 

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. Currently, the 

Employment Standards Administration 

is soliciting comments concerning its 

proposal to extend OMB approval of the 

information collection: Rehabilitation 

Action Report (OWCP–44). A copy of 

the information collection request can 

be obtained by contacting the office 

listed below in the ADDRESSES section of 

this Notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

addresses section below on or before 

April 21, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Office of Workers’ Compensation 

Programs (OWCP) administers the 

Federal Employees’ Compensation Act 

(FECA) and the Longshore and Harbor 

Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA). 

These acts provide vocational 

rehabilitation services to eligible 

workers with disabilities. Section 

8104(a) of the FECA and § 939(c) of the 

LHWCA provide that eligible injured 

workers are to be furnished vocational 

rehabilitation services, and § 8111(b) of 

the FECA and § 908(g) of the LHWCA 

provide that persons undergoing such 

vocational rehabilitation receive 

maintenance allowances as additional 

compensation. Form OWCP–44 is used 

to collect information necessary to 

decide if maintenance allowances 

should continue to be paid. Form 

OWCP–44 is submitted to OWCP by 

contractors hired to provide vocational 

rehabilitation services. Form OWCP–44 

gives prompt notification of key events 

that may require OWCP action in the 

vocational rehabilitation process. This 

information collection is currently 

approved for use through September 30, 

2008. 

II. Review Focus 

The Department of Labor is 

particularly interested in comments 

which: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses. 

III. Current Actions 

The Department of Labor seeks the 

approval for the extension of this 

currently approved information 

collection in order to ascertain the 

status of a rehabilitation case and to 

expedite adjudicatory claims action 

based on events arising from a 

rehabilitation effort.

Administration.
